Strong's Lexicon anantirrétos: Irrefutable, undeniable Original Word: ἀναντίρρητος Word Origin: From Greek prefix ἀν- (an-, "not") and ἀντιρρητέος (antirrēteos, "to be contradicted") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀναντίρρητος, the concept of irrefutable truth can be related to Hebrew words like אֱמֶת (emet, "truth") and נָכוֹן (nachon, "established" or "firm"). Usage: The Greek word ἀναντίρρητος (anantirrétos) is used to describe something that cannot be contradicted or disputed. It conveys the idea of being beyond question or doubt, often used in contexts where truth or authority is being asserted. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, rhetoric and debate were highly valued skills. The ability to present an argument that was ἀναντίρρητος would have been seen as a mark of wisdom and authority. In the context of the early Christian church, establishing the irrefutable truth of the Gospel message was crucial for the spread of Christianity and the defense of the faith against false teachings and persecution.
